Having grabbed and held Die market for good apples for the past twenty years because of the superior quality of the fruit, thu northwest is deeply interested in the following: editorial which appears in an eastern newspaper, but which we do not believe can be substantiated by fact: '.'In the matter of producing and marketing apples, the farmers aTid orchaidists of New England, at least, have learned a valuable lesson from their brethren in the Pacific coast country of the I'nilcd States.

All of which brings to mind La Grande's water problem. Plainly staled, this city must expend moie than a half a mil lion dollars on a new water system if we are to reach into the mountains for our supply. Even then the water must be treated to be safe to U:e. Hut, if the people should decide on a pumping plant with large wells, the cost of the needed improvement would very likely not exceed one humh'ed thousand dollars.
